"Lance's" cousin (D80) came to town.

About mid-July, Lance (the camera that my daughter owns) had an accident. There is another discussion written about that. While Lance was sick, my daughter had her first professional photography job to do. She was real worried about this job. A friend of ours sent his camera and a lot of his equipment to my daughter for her to use so she would not lose the job opportunity. Lance is a Nikon D40 and the cousin is a Nikon D80. D80 came with his own tripod and many fancy lenses. The task was to take photos of each classic car and owner at a car show in our home town. The photos were then printed and put into frames and awarded to the car owners. Many of the car owners were nervous at first when they saw a teenager taking the photos for the day. They were very pleased at the end of the day when they saw the finished photos. She got lots of praises from the car owners. Since she was the photographer for the day, she also took photos of people receiving their awards. Those photos will be printed and sent to them in their thank you for attending notes. Three of the day's photos were published in the town paper. Now my daughter is a published photographer. This experience of a lifetime would not have been possible if D80 had not come to visit. Have you ever used someone else's photography equipment?? Did it make you nervous?? Did it affect your photos??
